Do Men Really Make More Than Women?
Yes, but it’s not as big a gap as some would have you believe. And, the reasons for the differential usually have to do with career choices. When men and women have the same skills and experience, their pay is nearly the same. From Payscale.com
Day One of President Romney
A straightforward plan – whether he can pull this off will depend on the constitution of the Congress. Immediately Approve Keystone Pipeline Introduce Tax Cuts & Reforms Order Replacement of Obamacare The squishy wording of that last one leaves me a little worried. We want repeal of Obamacare; get rid of every trace of it. [...]
Arby’s Customer Gets Roast Beef Sandwich – and a Little Somethin’ Extra
Ewwww. A customer at an Arby’s in Michigan got a little more than roast beef in his sandwich last week when he bit into a piece of a finger, the Jackson Citizen Patriot reports. Ryan Hart, 14, tells the newspaper he was almost done with the sandwich when he tasted something rubbery. He spat it [...]
Breitbart Bombshell: 1991 Promotional Booklet Describes Obama as “Born in Kenya”
Brietbart’s Big Government site just release this astounding piece: Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama’s then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.” The booklet, which was distributed to “business colleagues” in the publishing industry, includes a brief [...]
Zero-Tolerance Idiocy: Detroit Groundskeeper Fired for Turning Found Gun In to Police
This has to rank up there with the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. This guy, who’s two years away from retirement after 23 years on the job, finds a snub-nose revolver while mowing grass. Figuring he’ll do the right thing, he turns it in to police. The idiots running his department, however, fired him for [...]
“First Gay President’s” Endorsement of Gay Marriage Produces Dead Cat Bounce in NC Poll
It seems that Obama’s “evolution” on gay marriage has produced an unanticipated result in the latest Rasmussen poll: Mitt Romney has moved out to an eight-point lead over President Obama in North Carolina after the two men were virtually tied a month ago. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the Tar [...]
Damn! We’re in a Tight Spot!
Or so the WWF (not the wrestling people, but the wildlife people) would have us believe. They say, in a new report, that we’ll need “another planet Earth” to sustain human life by 2030. Maybe these guys should take a look at the prognostications of Paul Ehrlich (who’s been proven wrong so many times we’ve [...]
The Obama Campaign is Asking the Wrong Question. No One Cares How Romney’s Administration Would Be Different from Bush’s
I was feeling a little lonely, so I subscribed to the Obama campaign’s emails to get a request for a $3 donation every other day. Also, it’s instructive to see how stupid some of their rhetoric is. Only mindless Obamabots and the mentally defective would actually buy this stuff. Here’s one I got today. I [...]

German Anti-Nuke Forces Kicking Themselves in the Ass Right About Now
Remember last year, after the Japanese nuclear incident caused by the tsunami, when Germany freaked out and declared that it would shut all its nuclear plants by 2022, and find alternative (I have to laugh at that term; the “alternative” is darkness) sources to replace the 23% of their energy that came from nuclear? Since then, [...]
Trump: Cher is a Loser Like Rosie O’Donnell, Only with Slightly More Talent
Donald Trump goes after Cher for her Twitter attacks on Mitt Romney. Not one to waste the spotlight, he throws in some jabs at his old pal Rosie O’Donnell while he’s at it. I wasn’t much of a fan of the idea of Trump as a presidential candidate, but I love him in the role [...]
J.P. Morgan Loses $2B; Uproar – USPS Loses $3.2B; Crickets
Emily Goff writes at The Foundry about the national news coverage garnered by the $2 billion loss revealed by J.P. Morgan this week. Advocates of even more restrictive regulations on banks and investment firms argue that rules should have been in place to prevent this. It’s not necessary; firms like Morgan will learn to correct [...]
GAO: America’s Green River Formation Contains Oil “Equal to Entire World’s Proven Reserves”
So why aren’t we drilling the hell out of this? Mainly because of eco-kook influence over the EPA, and the current president’s “we can’t drill our way to prosperity” bullsh*t. The USGS estimates that there are about 3 trillion barrels of oil there. From Investors Business Daily: Energy: The Government Accountability Office tells Congress the Green [...]
One More Time: Government Doesn’t Have a Revenue Problem; It Has a Spending Problem
This instructive video presentation from LearnLiberty.org has some facts to back up the statement. If we want to reign in spending, something has to change with the way we do government. I’m not sure even a change from the current regime will do it. It might lessen the rate of growth in spending, but that’s [...]
